914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Targa Bar Trim Removal

Posted by: vesnyder May 17 2005, 05:25 AM

I am trying to remove the vinyl panel on top of the targa bar, and it looks like I need to remove the targa bar trim. I've found vertical and horizontal plugs that appear to expose screws - do all of these screw need to be removed? HELP!

THAT one is a ROYAL PITA!

Pull all the screws you can, the bolts for the latch, the grip your butt-cheaks and pull. That's how I had to do it.

Mine came off in one piece, but it looked like crap afterwards. I'l contemplating not putting it ack on till I get one of Camp-914's replacements.

That piece is a bitch!

Doug - Thanks! How about the engine screen cover on each end? I've removed the middle part, but the getting those rubber grommets removed from the end pieces looks like a royal PIA! Any trick?

Pair of pliers, rotate like a nut and pull at the same time.........................

Also, if you haven't figured it our yet on the targa bolster, you pull the targa "B" bolsters to get it really clear. Good luck finding all the screws.

Not sure what you mean here?

Not really getting it ready to paint, just removing whatever I can to better understand what I have. Are those rubber fasteners available?
